RHOPLEX® B-85

RHOPLEX® B-85 is a very firm anionic acrylic binder used as an additive to anionic binders to stiffen hand. Unlike other RHOPLEX™ dispersions, RHOPLEX™ B-85 does not form continuous films under normal conditions of application. When blended with softer polymers it helps produce films with improved toughness and improved resistance to blocking.
